Why would I convince you otherwise? I loved FFIX. Play it again, dammit. As for Grandia, I need to finish it. I finished the sequel, which I thought was great. Grandia III was average while Grandia Xtreme was a pisstake on the name. I think my PS1 memory card is busted, however. It's a third party card that holds 8 in 1. Extremely fragile. Not sure I can save any of my games now.
